Edo State Deputy Governor, Mr. Philip Shaibu, has congratulated Governor Duoye Diri of Bayelsa State, on his re-election for a second term in office.
In his congratulatory message, on Monday, Shaibu described the governor as a true brother and friend.
He said: “I am highly elated to congratulate Your Excellency, my true brother and friend, the miracle Governor of Bayelsa State on your re-election for a second term in office.
“Permit me to place on record that your re-election is well deserved and a testament of the confidence reposed in you by the good people of Bayelsa State for your stellar performance in your first term.
“Indeed, your resounding victory at the polls is divine and a triumph of good over evil – on account of the unwholesome activities of some unpatriotic elements before and during the election – who do not mean well for the progress and development of Bayelsa State.
“I am confident that you will work harder in your second term to consolidate on your achievements and deliver the dividends of democracy to the greater majority of Bayelsa people.
“Please, accept my hearty congratulations,” Shaibu added.
